You say shiraz, McWilliam’s says syrah (for its new McW Reserve 660 Syrah from Canberra!). A true expression of the rich diversity and elegance of high-altitude wines, the McW 660 range features grapes that are harvested from vines grown at an average of 660 metres above sea level in particularly cool climates, such as Canberra, Hilltops and Tumbarumba. So, what’s the difference between shiraz and syrah? There’s no physiological difference with the grape variety — syrah is simply shiraz’s French name. Some Australian winemakers are choosing to make wines in the style of French syrah, which is lighter and leaner than the usual richer, riper and more full-bodied expressions Australians are used to drinking.

It is full of nutty and raisin flavours that show off this old favourite from one of Australia's best and oldest family owned wineries. .

Aged for a decade, this wine has the decadent, rich raisin palate of a fine Christmas cake. A true, barrell-aged Tawny Port, a dash of dry sherry adds complexity while the finish is long, luscious and luxurious. The perfect gift!

This is a sweeter simpler style Tawny, quite fruit forward, lighter in style.

Created by the McWilliam’s Wines family, the McW 480 range is a celebration of the high altitude regions of New South Wales. Harvested from vines grown at an average of 480 metres above sea level; fresh, fragrant and vibrant, these cool climate wines are a perfect match to many cuisines.

Vibrant red purple colour. Vibrant blackberry and dark chocolate fruits with French oak. A classic, full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with silky cassis and dark chocolate fruit finishing with fine dry tannins of tremendous length.
